Synopsis: Tennis Stardom Bess Hartley was eager to help underprivileged youngsters with tennis even though she could no longer compete professionally. When Bess took teenager Karen Skewes under her wing, she never dreamed that the scheming girl would be so consumed with ambition to reach tennis stardom that she would try to manipulate Bess' life off the court as well as on. Karen would try to break up Bess' engagement to Bob Atchison, her detective fiance", and encourage her to pursue the thrice-married millionaire, Austin Healey. Through this all, Bess felt strangely drawn to Rod Claver, the handsome artistic beachcomber who permitted no one but Bess to invade his private world.
